A phantom log is created in &PH& using background processor but I can't see these logs replicated to subscriber from publisher. Please note every other file which we have created and all it's records are replicated without any issues.  We have commented out EXCLUDE_FILE = &PH& in repacct.def so ideally the logs should be replicated.  Any suggestion would be really helpful.

Hi We have a CICS DB2 application running in a PAC configuration with MFES V7 linux (aacessing DB2 tables on mainframe with DB2 coonect) but this application needs to acces a diffferent set of DB2 tables during the day  and the night . Now this applicacion running in z/OS uses a Plan exit on CICS to change tge DB2 plan during the day. Under MFES we dont have this DB2 plan exit so we need to have two set of executable files (one for day grcessing and the other for night processing) The question is how to change the executable being used by MFES twice a day . We are considering to use the caspac commnad to load the executable files to our SOR but we get these errors [microfocus@iacvm1734 H0]$ cd /home/microfocus/ [microfocus@iacvm1734 ~]$ caspac -aLoadCICS=/gravity/prealtarg/orcics/exe/H0/IATXAL24.idy -sredis,10.151.111.73:8379 -nMYMASTER -pMFPACQ Connected to Redis server at 10.151.111.73 port 08379 Using PACName MFPACQ Version=0002 Error trying to increment CasLOADS_Writer.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has a good method of converting the line endings in a file read in with fileload from a Unix directory (LFs) to Windows line endings (CRLF), so that when the contents of the file are sent back to the client web browser for the user to download into their Windows downloads folder, the line endings are correct for Windows. I've been looking at $encode and characters sets to see if there was anything specifically for this purpose but haven't found anything so far. In the absence of that, I guess $replace will do the job, providing I can specify those characters. There seems to be an undocumented $tometa function which may do the job but if anyone knows anything that is documented, that would seem to be a safer option. Many thanks, Rupert Killik ------------------------------Rupert KillikSenior Software EngineerRocket Forum Shared Account------------------------------

Hi guys,We are seeing some strange behaviour on a Unidata/Windows site where SELECT commands that are run from a phantom process take a huge amount of time to run immediately following a server reboot. But if the same SELECT command is run from an SBClient session it runs fine (taking just a few seconds). This issue seems to last for a couple of hours after the reboot as though the server is doing something triggered by the reboot but it only seems to affect the phantom process.The customer assures us that the anti-virus has the Unidata files excluded.Unidata edition is server version 8.2.1Windows is Windows server 2016 standardHas anyone seen anything like this?Many thanksBarry GreenCBS SoftwareM: 0414 380192 T:08 82601256www.cbssoftware.com.auwww.cbssoftware.com.au/terminal-operating-systemwww.cbssoftware.com.au/depot-management-software[CBS_Logo]

Hi Freaks When I was "playing around" with our application, I found a strange error. Or it is feature? In our old environment (UnifAce 9) we tried to use the "decrypt trigger"*) in some fields. After we have done this, we comment out the content of this trigger, as it was of no use to us.All looks okay and the date-field was formted in the expected way  Now I run this component in UF10 and what happend: The field is not formated, the end user sees the raw data.I checked and found nothing special. Then I saw the trigger "formatFromDbms" with a simple comment as content. Just out of curiosity I removed the whole trigger and voila, the field was formatted.Oops, whats going wrong here?Fires an empty**) trigger not longer the default behavior?From the documentation:"If formatFromDbms trigger contains ProcScript, it is activated for each field of an occurrence:"Does anyone else have a similar problem or is this really a new, undocumented feature?Ingo   *) We are talking about the decryption

In ZMF 8.3 when the CMN20 job fails, the package is set to the new status of 'XIN'. If a user attempts to revert the package they receive the following error message: CMN3320A - Packages in XIN status cannot be reverted. Use Backout. If the user attempts to backout the package they receive the following error message which contradicts the previous 'CMN3320A' message: CMN1275A - Status must be BAS for ALL, DEV, or DEVPROD and INS for PROD.

Hi, I am using BlueZone v8.1.1 and I have written a Python script to automate an audit workflow.I am using the WaitReady function after sending an attention identifier key and this approach works for the most part. But all of a sudden, the execution will grind to a halt after a while. I've noticed the execution of the script is getting held up on the WaitReady or WaitForReady command, even though there is nothing waiting on the terminal (the status is 'Ready'). This causes the execution of WaitReady to take up to 30 seconds to execute. This then causes every subsequent use of WaitReady or WaitForReady to also take that long despite the terminal status being 'Ready'. I've then noticed that Presentation Space is Busy is then returned from the function even though the terminal isn't busy UPDATE: I'm starting to see this issue with SendKeys function now as well.. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!!Josh.------------------------------Josh GrantRocket Forum Shared Account-

I am a member of this forum because I must deal with COBOL code and  deliverables for work.  I'm sure I'll find many answers to my engineer's questions, here, once all the OpenText forum content is transmorgified over to this site.  In the interim, please consider the following - apologies in advance if this is duplicitous, once the OpenText forum content is loaded into this forum.My daughter has taken an interest in Rocket COBOL, in hopes of getting a paying gig/job working with COBOL.  How is a young person suppose to learn a Rocket COBOL, write programs, compile, test, etc. outside an academic environment  if you don't provide any sort of free personal/non-commercial licensing?  Far too many companies post job listenings requiring ten years experience from newly minted college grads.  That won't happen, of course; but these young people may be able to gain some certifications if there were some path to follow that didn't increase their already

Hi all, I am trying to find my way through the web of everything here. I have managed to get to the Visual cobol training course and that has attachments, the first being vctTraining.zip.When I try to download it, I am informed it contains a virus? and the download is blocked.

We have a number of these type instructions in our programs. Another example is ACCOUNT=FIELD(OCONV(0,"U50BB")," ",2). Is there something in the docs that describes what they are and what they do?------------------------------Nelson SchrothpresidentC3CompleteShop LLCHarrison OH US------------------------------

Hi guys, yesterday i put a question on  Micro Focus Visual COBOL Discussions, (look at end of this post **) Blair Mcdonald suggest asking here... let me summarize: installed Object Cobol on debian, never used since purchase (2002).  all is working, but in accept i have bell and 'That keystroke has no meaning here'. Seems the program gets some strange input.. Then it stops regularly for user data, bua the same thing happens on any accept... using PuTty in telnet with TERM=ansi from the PC side it does not happen?! With out Terminal emulator (Ericom) we have this problem. I have checked the dialog with tcpdump (see listing) with a small program... Please have a look and tell me why the cobol program send the error message, without receiving any input... I know that the product is old etc etc, but where should be a way to exlain the thing and fix it.. Let me know any needed info. Thanks in advance.

When setting up a data resource, and mapping dictionary items to the REST interface, seems like I'm only able to map one field at a time that points to a given attribute, in my case it's attribute 0.  We have composite ids, and have multiple dict items that point to attribute 0 with some conversions that pull out what that particular dict item needs.  Problem is that when I try to select say _id (attr 0) and other dict items that point to attr 0, it is deselecting the other dict items when I select a new one.  I'd like to have multiple of these at the same time, but not sure how to do that if it's possible.  In my screen shot, I'd like to select _id, sys_date and sys_time but can't seem to get them all checked at the same time.  Any advice welcome. UPDATE: I was able to get both the sys_date and sys_time working, but it doesn't seem to be running the conversion code and just shows the raw field.  When I run a list in TCL, I get the actual converted date/ti

ok, is not visual cobol related, but the previous object cobol product. since 1987 we developed application for aix, then with the version for msdos we successfullly ported some application.. we used very basic part of the product, no screen section, accept/display standard. in lan and wan using terminal emulator (ericom) we never had problems. In 2002 we purchased the linux version of the product, but it went asleep till now... Installed a debian 64bit (last version) with some struggle with os library x32, we get the cobol run on linux.    using the same emulator seems all ok, except for this strange behaviour: the accept sound the bell, and claims 'That keystroke has no meaning here'. Obviously no data was typed... after the message the data accept is normally done, but every field the bell and the message are replied. I am looking for some help, any guy out there is available?

We have legacy code in visual cobol (I believe the currently running code was compiled against VC 3.0, but not certain). I am trying to get it running compiled against VC10, but I'm facing runtime issues. After a lot of debugging I seem to have narrowed the issue down. The basic flow is this: The host application (VB.NET) calls a managed cobol method. The managed cobol method invokes a method in a another managed cobol class. The second cobol class makes a Call to a non-managed cobol program. The second cobol class completes and returns to the first. The first managed cobol method makes a call to another non-managed cobol program. An exception is thrown with the stacktrace below The key cannot be null vid System.Collections.Hashtable.ContainsKey(Object key) vid System.Collections.Hashtable.Contains(Object key) vid MicroFocus.COBOL.Runtime.Common.SyncHashtableMF.get_Item(Object key) vid MicroFocus.COBOL.Runtime.Common.RunUnit.GetNestedProgram(String program, MethodInfo& metho

But it's no use because when Level 30 is promoted, Level 10 and 20 are cleaned. We need a way to block the selection of several Levels of the same site in ZMF4ECL. In ZMF4ECL 826 we did not have the problem because the choice of Level was in a drop-down list...#ZMF4ECL#HLLX
